What you are following in your family is the right approach as learning has to be as per their age and the children should be given options and told to decide about things rather than asking them to do one thing or the other because either both or one of the parents would want or like them to be doing that. I teach children and find that when they are receiving the new books which a changed pattern and received syllabus in new books printed. The feedback which I am getting from the children is that they find the portion too much.

The education system is such that for all sorts of uses for which people use the road and drive different vehicles. Here it is like telling the children that. This is the only vehicle you have whether you can understand the subject or not. Your duty is to finish learning the subjects which have been decided by the education board till class 10. Once you finish class 10 then you have choices. If they are given such a choice many are telling I do not like so and so subject and hence I am not interested. I have the difficult and sad task of convincing why it is important for them. The education board is not too concerned about these issues. Life has become a rat race and only best among the best prosper. Thanks for sharing your experience.

More than 10 to 15 percent of the population in the world suffers from this silent killer. All of us would have had depression at one point of our live or another. But majority of people are able to get over as the symptoms last only for a few days and the episodes are far less. In the case of the percentage of the population mentioned above, they are unable to get over the feeling of being down and the same thing drags on for months at one stretch and this is when medical intervention becomes necessary.

Many do not know what they are suffering from as they have not had such an issue at any point of life till the time it strikes. It is basically a collection of problems piling up on the individual over a period of time which the person is trying to solve but in the end gives up as it is very overwhelming. Problems like medicines, not visiting the doctor on time, worries, anxieties, tensions, lack of sleep, being overburdened with work, not having time for oneself, being unable to spend time with family, family tensions, failure, emotional reasons are some of the problems which pile up and cause this problem which is difficult to overcome if it becomes serious. If it is in the in the initial stages chances of recovery are better.

I agree. Suffering such thing is a serious matter. Expert’s advice is very important. Accordingly, depression is the main cause of suicide cases that is why it should not be neglected.
